M.C. London Gazette 3 June, 1918: T/2nd Lt. (A/Capt.) Duncan Carmichael, N.Lan.R.
Bar to M.C.
London Gazette 16 September, 1918: T/2nd Lt. (A/Capt.) N.Lan.R. “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the enemy had worked round the flanks he superintended the counter-attack and led a bombing party down the trench and cleared them. He then formed a defensive flank which saved troops on the left from a strong attack. He set a fine example of pluck and good leadership.”
